Alex Guofeng Cao
Alex Guofeng Cao came to New York searching for his pursuit, came upon photography, which easily became his passion. Inspired by such masters as Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Edward Weston, and Robert Mapplethorpe, Cao ceaselessly studied and experimented with all methods and techniques in photography. While adept with color, Cao’s preferred medium is the black and white image. Cao’s deep fascination with the subtle gradations of tone between the deep black and the stark white are the generators for all the colors he needs to create his world.
The most recent body of work by Cao is a series of... view more >>
Andy Warhol's Mao
Andy Warhol's Mao Tse Tung (1972) is a silk-screen portrait of the Chinese leader that was made in many versions. It is one of the series of silk-screens that he made on the subject of fame. They began in the early 1960s with his many portraits of Marilyn Monroe whose sad death in 1962 led him to contemplation of what it meant to be famous and what it could possibly be worth. The fame of the individuals in these portraits was usually of the Hollywood variety and various representations of Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, and others are among the best known. Usually the different versions employed the same ... view more >>

Last Wednesday evening, November 10th, Christie's New York held an auction of post-war and contemporary art featuring many Guy Hepner artists and recorded outstanding results. Once again, the art world was reminded exactly why the genre was originally deemed 'Popular' art: This past week's showing proved the demand for Pop Art continues to match exactly what is available.

Andy Warhol changed art forever. He is an undeniable, defining feature of modern art history, and his work is prized as a pivotal and necessary feature at Guy Hepner. His Flower Paintings series comes late in his life, and offers an expanse of insight into a legend's artistic mind through a seemingly mundane subject.
The idea to paint flowers as the subject of a major series was apparently suggested to Warhol by Henry Geldzahler, then curator at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. To some degree, the pictures belong to a long art historical tradition of still-life painting.
"With the Flowers, Andy was just trying a different subjec... view more >>
Guy Hepner is thrilled to announce the new representation of Neo Pop artist, FC SOFIA.
FC SOFIA's discourse is situated at the crossroads between Pop Art and the Nouveaux Réalistes. Like the latter, they use objects lifted from the reality of their time, and do so thanks to a new and hyperactive tool: the Internet; a veritable global supermarket of raw material at their disposal for their works. This progressive approach has situated FC SOFIA at the top of the art market, and an exciting addition to Guy Hepner.

Guy Hepner is pleased to make available three rare Warhol Marilyns from the original 1967 series. Just deaccessioned by a private collector, these striking works are three of the most desirable color ways from Warhol's series. As one of the founders of the Pop Art movement, Warhol examined the iconography of American culture and the mass media’s depiction of it. Warhol chose a publicity photograph from the film Niagara (1953) for his immortalizing series of Marilyn. One might ascribe, in part, the level of cult worship of Marilyn Monroe to Andy Warhol for his iconic depiction of her.

Alex Guofeng Cao pays homage to pop culture's most famous icons in a very unique way. At first glance, Cao's series Decompose/Compose: Resurrect appears to simply be portraits of celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol and Brigitte Bardot. Upon closer inspection, one can see that Cao's pieces are composed of small repetitive images. The arrays of miniscule visages used by Cao to form the larger portraits, are themselves iconic images. Cao's images are imposing and arresting to say the least. Cao's work has been exhibited extensively worldwide and is held in many prominent collections.
